Are Alloy Metals Good or Bad?

[Amber1171]

Okay, so I am buying this ring online and it is made out of an alloy metal. It was $15, which I thought was pretty cheap so I was wondering if the ring was a piece of crap or now :\

Well I got it anyways, so far not so bad. No green or black fingers (: And hoping they don't come, aha. Thankyou (:

not good at all. it could have nickel in it or copper, which can turn your finger black lol. it's a piece of junk but you're not paying all that much for it so that's why it's junk.

Its a mixture of two or more metals. Since they didn't say which metals and its cheap, I'd say its probably not good and you can expect to get a green finger out of it.

Alloy is just a mixture of two or more metals usually, but mostly there is nothing inferior about products made of alloy, just less expensive.

They can be superior.

Alloy metals are basically when two or more metals are mixed to form a new metal. So it greatly depens on which metals are used.

well its just a alloy its not rare or anything its just some metalish stuff that holds it shape really nothing to fancy, but I would think tin or pewter would be a far sh*ttier metal then most alloys

[RealMenFly]

It's just an alloy, unless you know the elements and their percentage and that they were alloyed well, you pretty much know nothing.

It is just made of metal, nothing special.
